SPCA 150th Anniversary Celebration

The San Francisco SPCA celebrated 150 years of rescuing and caring for animals with a gala celebration on Wednesday, April 18 at San Francisco City Hall. This year, SF SPCA grossed a Record-Breaking $1.8 million for the Animals! Proceeds from the SF SPCA 150th Anniversary Celebration will provide essential support for the SF SPCA’s lifesaving programs and Vision 2020, the organization’s plan to end animal abandonment in San Francisco by the year 2020.
The formal attire affair, designed by Stanlee Gatti, began with a cocktail reception under the elegant rotunda in City Hall followed by a gourmet vegetarian dinner from McCall’s with fine wines by Kelly Fleming Wines. The SF SPCA honored California Governor Jerry Brown and former State Senator Mark Leno for their exceptional leadership in animal welfare and protection. The evening also included entertainment by SFJAZZ High School All-Stars and American jazz and cabaret singer Paula West.
